The steamer was signtea batuxua,‘ afternoon by the steamer George B. Stephenson, shortly after it went on the reef. The Stephenson could see the crew aboard the craft, but could not reach the wreck, and gave up the attempt after a struggle of six hours. According to the Stephenson, the bow of the stranded boat is high on the reef and the stern deep in water, putting out the fires under the boil- ers. This morning Capt.

Nearly. a hundred steamers are 1 now scattered between the $00 and Whitefish, awaiting for weather con- ditions to permit them to proceedu Yesterday afternoon reports of steam-‘ ers in trouble began to come in. ‘ The Superior last evening reported a Tomlinson line steamer wrecked on! Gross Cap Point. Later. the McDon- gall, which reached the 800 last night. confirmed the report. The captain says he heard distress signals from the steamer yesterday afterâ€" noon. He tried to get to her, but on account of the heavy seas and strong wind had to give it up. The wreck’s identity has not been clearly estab- lished, but it is thought to be either the Hartwell or the James E. David- son. The captain of the McDougall said he was almost sure it was the Davidson. The steamer is lying decks to the waves. The crew are still on board as far as could be learned. Another big steamer, unidentified, is reported aground on Point Iroquois last night. ‘ -A CALUMET, Mich., Nov. 11. â€"â€" Ac- cording to reports which have reach- ed here by wireless, three other steamers are stranded at different points on Lake Superior and three craft are missing.
